How are state judges selected in Texas?

Select ONE of the following topics to answer for Writing Assignment 2. The writing assignment should be a minimum of 750 words. You should find most of the information you need to complete the assignment in the textbook, but it may improve your submission by using additional sources (such as news articles or government websites).  See the Writing Assignment Instructions for more information.

How are state judges selected in Texas?  Discuss two different methods used in other states for selecting judges. What are the arguments for each of the selection methods you discussed?  Do you think that judges should be elected or appointed?  Explain your reasoning.   How informed do you think the public is about judicial elections and judicial candidates?  If you were voting for a judge, would you research the candidates and their qualifications or would you vote based on party affiliation?

How has Texas ranked over the last 10 years in the percent of people without health insurance when compared to other states?  (Refer to Census Bureau data.)  Has the percentage of people without health insurance been increasing or decreasing?  What are some of the explanations for the differences between the current uninsured rate in Texas and the rate in other states?  Do you think this issue should be a priority for Texas legislators?  Why or why not?  Was this issue addressed in the most recent legislative session and if so, what was the outcome?  (Note: The Texas Tribune is a good resource for information on public policy issues in Texas).

Project 1: Vulnerability And Threat Assessment Step 6: Prioritize Threats And Vulnerabilities

Now that you have explained and classified the threats and vulnerabilities, you will prioritize them using a reasonable approach as explained in the project plan. As you prioritize the identified threats and vulnerabilities, you will need to:

Use this information, along with the threat and vulnerability explanations and risk classifications from the previous steps, to develop the threats and vulnerabilities report.

Compose a two- to three-page report regarding specific threats and vulnerabilities of the technical aspects of the environment. This report will be used in the final vulnerability and threat assessment report.

Law And Ethics

The health record is used for many purposes and accessed by many different users. According to the HIPAA Privacy Rule, patients have the right to inspect, review, and receive copies of their health information. Additionally, Part 2 of the Meaningful Use Program, requires eligible healthcare facilities to provide patient’s access to view a portion of their health records online (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2012).

Initial Post:

In your initial post, address the following:

  1. Discuss who owns the health record.
  2. Explain who uses the health record information and in what ways.
  3. Articulate your opinion, regarding how much and what type of information you feel should be made available to patients online. Explain your reasoning.

Vulnerability And Threat Assessment Step 12: Write Overview And Compile Final Vulnerability And Threat Assessment Report

You have reached the final step. Use the Final Vulnerability and Threat Assessment Report template in preparing the final report. In APA style, write an overview and compile all the sections prepared throughout the project into a report according to the template.

Since this report will be delivered to Maria and other top executives, tailor your writing to the appropriate audience. Be sure that coherent paragraphs or points are developed so that each is internally unified, functioning as part of the whole document.

Maria Sosa is depending on you, the chief information security officer at your organization, to provide her and other executive-level stockholders with a final vulnerability assessment report. This thorough report should be presented with your findings and recommendations.

Final Vulnerability Assessment Report (seven- to 10-page report using this template: Assignment 7, Steps 11 and 12) This report should include the following components:
